Capsule: The SR-71 D-Wing was designed by the Alliance's Shadow Work
design team to be capable of penetrating heavily defended targets,
conduct a recon or a limited strike, and still be able to get away
intact.

In order to achieve the mission profile, Shadow Works had to emphasize
speed at the expense of other performance aspects such as maneuverability
and stealth. The final result was a vessel capable of cruising at speeds
that normal starfighters could only dream about.

However, since they are very difficult and expensive to build and requires
a tremendous amount of maintenance, they are normally not issued to local
sector commands, instead, are they used as a strategic reconnaissance
resource by the Alliance High Command.

The D-Wing (Delta Wing) is also known by the nickname "Blackbird" due to
its color.


Game Notes: Sensor operators searching for an Shadow Works "Blackbird"
gains a +10 bonus to their Sensors rolls as long as the "Blackbird " is
underway using its sublight drive. This is due to the tremendous power
output.
